installation in disused nightclub - part of the
Redundant Technology Initiative's inaugural show

“A striking sea soundscape”
Ian Soutar –Sheffield Telegraph

The piece consists of 12 record players or music centres,
wired together in such a way that each one is controlled by
2 other decks, leading to a chaotic system in which
cascades of switching combinations work their way through
the system.
The result is the switching on and off of the record
players in an unpredictable way, where patterns of
behaviour emerge and recede. There appears to be no overall
control.
What is heard is a combination of the noise of the switches
clicking on and off, the amplified mains clicks and the
needles rubbing along on the empty turntables.
The work was installed in a disused nightclub, where the
decks stood on their speakers on the floor, like lonely
dancers trying desperately to communicate with each
other.
